Given numbers are 251,988,167,258

The least common multiple of numbers can be find using the prime factorization method or LCM formula.

The LCM of 251,988,167,258 is 5342405484.

Find LCM of 251,988,167,258 with Prime Factorization

Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.

2 x 251 x 494 x 167 x 129 = 5342405484

Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 251,988,167,258 is 5342405484.

LCM formula is LCM(a1, a2, an) = (a1 x a2 x an)/{GCF(a1 x a2 x an) x common factors}

Firstly, we have to find the product of all the numbers.

251 x 988 x 167 x 258 = 10684810968

Then, let us find the GCF of these five numbers. To do so, we have to list down the factors for each number and choose the highest factor that is in all of the lists.

251 : 1, 251

988 : 1, 2, 4, 13, 19, 26, 38, 52, 76, 247, 494, 988

167 : 1, 167

258 : 1, 2, 3, 6, 43, 86, 129, 258

1 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 251,988,167,258, is 1.

Now, the common factors can be found like this.

251:251

988:2x 2x 13x 19

167:167

258:2x 3x 43

From this, we can see that the common factors because they appear for more than two numbers. So, just multiply them all together.

2 = 2

Therefore, the value for common factors is 2.

Now that we have all the elements of the formula, we can plug them in to calculate the LCM.

LCM(a1, a2, an) = (a1 x a2 x an)/{GCF(a1 x a2 x an) x common factors}

LCM = 10684810968/(1x2)

LCM = 10684810968/2

LCM = 5342405484

Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 251,988,167,258 is 5342405484.
